From April 11-13, the Ecoship team will be attending Sea Japan, the biggest maritime show in the country, at Tokyo Big Sight. Every two years, Japan’s maritime industry gathers at this event to inspect the latest developments and to discuss strategy and investment. Through exhibitions, conferences and online communities, Sea Japan brings together more than 19,000 industry professionals to network, identify business opportunities and expand global market. This year, the 13th edition is the largest ever with representation from 30 countries.

Peace Boat’s Ecoship team will be there introducing the latest news about the project and discussing collaborations in the fields of technology and research, as well as seeking to amplify the Ecoship’s potential for making a change. The Ecoship booth will be at A-34.
